Where are they imagining they are going to get the water?

"Development requires water. Buckeye, seeing and often inviting the growth coming its way, recently completed its own water study.

"Part of the town sits on the Hassayampa River aquifer. The aquifer holds enough for Buckeye's new developments to have water for the state-mandated 100 years as long as builders recharge as much water as they pull from the ground, according to the two-year survey by environmental engineering firm Brown and Caldwell.

"Developers also must pay the Central Arizona Project to recharge water to meet those groundwater replenishment requirements. The plan must be approved by the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
